The current through it will also decrease to half of its former value because according to Ohm's law the current flowing through a resistor is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across its ends provided that the temperature and some other necessary conditions remain constant.

This is mathematically represented as follows;

$V=IR.........(1)$

The current is thus given as

$I=\frac{V}{R}..............(2)$

if R is constant and V is reduced to half, then we have the following;

$I=\frac{V/2}{R}$

Simplifying further we obtain

$I=\frac{V}{2R}...........(3)$

Equation (3) shows that the current I is also reduced to half.

Help ASAP

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Elastic potential energy, $E=2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J$

Explanation:

Charge, $q=9.4\times 10^{-10}\ C$

Potential, V = 50 V

It is required to find the electric potential energy in a capacitor stored in it. The formula of the electric potential energy in a capacitor is given by :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}qV\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.4\times 10^{-10}\times 50\\\\E=2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J$

So, the electric potential energy stored in the capacitor is $2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J$

Calculate the percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean given that the density of ice is 916.3kg/m3 an

pogonyaev

Answer:

The percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean = 89.67%

Explanation:

Let V be the total volume of the iceberg

Let x be the volume of iceberg submerged

According to Archimedes principle,

weight of the iceberg = weight of the water displaced (that is, weight of x volume of water)

Weight of the iceberg = mg= ρ(iceberg) × V × g

Weight of water displaced = ρ(fluid) × x × g

We then have

ρ(iceberg) × V × g = ρ(fluid) × x × g

(x/V) = ρ(iceberg) ÷ ρ(fluid) = 916.3 ÷ 1021.9 = 0.8967 = 89.67%

Hope this Helps!!!!
